Incorrect. It breaks alias-forwarding.

Correct.

Incorrect. See http://www.imc.org/ietf-mxcomp/mail-archive/msg02419.html

Incorrect for the reasons stated for SPF-classic and Sender-ID above.

1) solid I-D:  Yes

There appears to be a security problem caused by the way a failed MAIL
FROM check may fall back to an EHLO check, allowing unintended forgery.
Alternatively this is a source of troublesome interoperability problems
if some servers fall back to EHLO and some don't.

5) gratuitous incompatibilities:  None.
